When it comes to buying new phones, we all want the latest and greatest models. But are we really making the most of the cutting-edge features on our smartphones? Let’s talk about smartphone photography for a moment.

The 2024 British photography awards, in partnership with Samsung, showcased some incredible talent and proved that newer isn’t always better when it comes to capturing stunning images with your phone. Here’s a closer look at what went down in the UK mobile photography scene:

– Winners of the 2024 Mobile Photography Awards were crowned Mobile Photography Award Champions and received a shiny new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
– These Champions were also treated to a special workshop hosted by The British Photography Association and Samsung to refine their skills.

Contestants had six categories to showcase their talent:

– Portrait (including selfies)
– Landscape
– Night Scenes
– Food & Drink
– Pet
– Zoom In

In the Portrait category, an image titled “Two Heads, One Heart” took home the prize. Surprisingly, this stunning photo was captured using a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra – not the latest model on the market.

In fact, many of the top photos featured in the virtual gallery were taken using older devices like the iPhone 6. So, next time someone tells you that you need the newest flagship phone to take amazing photos, just show them this article.

Remember, it’s not just about having the latest gadget – it’s about how you use it. Stay tuned for more tips and tricks on how to make the most of your smartphone’s camera capabilities.
